Evidence of the Missing Link Found?
HUADPE writes to tell us CNN is reporting that scientists in northeastern Ethiopia recently discovered a skull that they think may be evidence of the "missing link" between Homo erectus and modern man. From the article: "The hominid cranium -- found in two pieces and believed to be between 500,000 and 250,000 years old -- 'comes from a very significant period and is very close to the appearance of the anatomically modern human,' said Sileshi Semaw, director of the Gona Paleoanthropological Research Project in Ethiopia."
And God created the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
Yet, one the basic characteristic that differentiates living matter from dead matter are of a thermodynamic nature. These thermodynamic characteristics cannot be explained if one considers life to be the sum of its parts. But evolutionists will claim that they can explain the thermodynamics of entire ecosystems.
Another basic characteristics of life is the use of symbolic information. Symbolic information is part of the genetic code. There are no mechanisms by which symbolic information can arise through physical processes.
The origin of symbolic information is in the spirit world and it is constantly being channeled into the material realm.
This is the funniest thing in your whole post:
Did you know that the theoy of evolution has been proven to be wrong in a whole bunch of ways? I'll just name two. First, it predicted a lot of transitionary species. Darwin himself was aware that there was a scarcity of transitionary species and he predicted that in the future more and more of those transitionary species would be found. But today, we have even fewer examples of transitionary species than in his time because many examples of that period, such as the evolution of the horse, have been proven wrong.
That this evolutionary prediction was proven wrong did not cause the evolutionists to rethink their position, but rather to try to explain away the evidence by making up the unfalsifiable, unscientific theory of 'punctuated equilibrium.'
Second, evolution predicts that different species will have a common ancestor. This has been disproven as well. Again evolutionists did not admit that their theory is wrong, they simply try to explain it away by making phylogenetic 'bushes' instead of 'trees.'
When the great Cola plague of 2012 arrives after a bottling plant leak in Atlanta, Georgia, we will all be consumed by gallons and gallons of Coca cola. If it can eat a steak in 4 days, imagine how much YOU it can eat! The ones who survive will be lucky and/or have figured out stairs or stilts. They will live off of elephants, tree nuts, fruit, and giraffe will become a main course. The bones in our coffins will be disintegrated, and there shall be nothing left!
Of course, geeks have nothing to worry about anyway, seeing as how being a missing link means that you were actually a link to something. Too bad socks and pr0n are killing you guys off in record numbers!
#2 The sad thing... for religion types the Sunday holy day types are the nutjobs.
The Catholic church changed that many years back.. still controversial as to why, but even Catholics have admitted there is no Biblical basis for it:
So... yeah... we believe in God... and that He is almighty... and He said we should observe Saturday... but we are just gonna ignore this one. Ever wonder why European types consider Monday as the first day of the week? Makes it a ton easier to have a clear conscience if you just re-explain the week away.
Now that is the definition of a nutjob.
So... I'll just putz along following God's ways... You can putz along not following God's ways... we will meet several times... in the end... one or both of us might be right.
Telcos have alot of dark fibre in the States. Most people assume that's optical fibre...but it's actually moral fibre.
Please understand that macroevolution is fact, no "if"s, "and"s, or "but"s about it. If you don't understand it, don't say that its flawed or wrong or unbiblical or whatever; just say that you don't understand it yet.
No data, no cry
>This is a straw man argument. Nobody is claiming you can use radiocarbon dating on anything but recent fossils. Geological layers are dated by a variety of means, including radiological dating of isotopes much longer-lived than carbon-14.
Can you (or anyone) provide a couple of examples of a fossil that was dated by any other means than its position in a geological layers? The creation web sites state a couple of quotes from secular sources stating that other dating methods are not generally used creationscience.
Evolution sites claim they are talkorgins but no examples are presented.
